§ Mr. Burkeasked the Minister of Pensions how many disabled ex-service men have received treatment by the Ministry of Pensions during the last 12 months; and of these how many received special full treatment allowances, as laid down in Article 6 of the Royal Warrant?
1280W
§ Sir W. WomersleyThe number of disabled ex-service men who received treatment at one time or another in the course of the 12 months ended 30th June, 1939, was 13,013, including 5,635 cases in mental hospitals. The records of my Department do not enable me to give the precise information asked for in the latter part of the question, but it may be taken that in the great majority of cases full treatment allowances were payable.
